Insightful Analysis
This book examines when the law will allow a party to terminate or to rescind an agreement for the purchase and sale of land. Written by a law professor with more than 20 years’ experience and expertise in the fields of contract law and the law of remedies, Termination and Rescission of Agreements for the Purchase and Sale of Land discusses when termination and rescission are available in response to certain events, including breach of the agreement, title deficiencies, repudiation, misrepresentation, non-disclosure, and non-fulfilment of conditions precedent. By using general contractual and remedial principles to analyze and explain these issues, this text fills a gap left by other books, which often examine the remedies available to buyers and sellers of land largely in isolation from broader common law principles.

Combining rigorous analysis with frequent examples drawn from cases across Canada to illuminate how the courts understand and apply the relevant doctrines, Pratt provides the most thorough treatment available of the law that governs this complex topic.

Termination and Rescission of Agreements for the Purchase and Sale of Land will be an invaluable resource for members of the real estate bar in all of the Canadian common law provinces. This book will also be useful to other legal professionals whose work involves land transactions, and to judges and academics interested in the field of real estate law. Finally, it will be an excellent addition to law library collections across the country.
